Dan and Nick break down the All-22 coaches film of the Giants’ Week 15 win over the Commanders on the defensive side of the ball by breaking down the end zone and sideline angles from the coaches film. They go play by play, drive by drive, with long extensive breakdowns of each play. They talk about how Wink Martindale approached this game differently than the first matchup – namely by doing everything in his power to take away Terry McLaurin.
